In the early morning of October 30, Los Angeles has not yet ushered in the sun today.

Li Liang got up from the bed, it was 5 o'clock in the morning.

He went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, and made himself a little breakfast.

Although he got up early, Li Liang did not feel tired.

On the contrary, he was excited because today was the first game of the NBA regular season.

From deciding to run, to tryouts, to being selected, to summer leagues, preseasons.

There were countless days and nights of hard training in the system, and the day had finally arrived.

Zhu Shu, Bai Xiaoting and Wei Dazhi haven't gotten up yet.

Li Liang left home alone and ran through the streets of Los Angeles for half an hour to warm up.

The sky began to brighten, and with a light sweat, Li Liang returned home.

Bai Xiaoting had already gotten up, saw Li Liang, and said, "You went out to sell breakfast and came back?" ”

Li Liang glanced at Bai Xiaoting, ignored it, and hummed a small tune.

He was in a good mood today, and he was too lazy to quarrel with Bai Xiaoting.

Lao Tzu is going to officially participate in the NBA game today, and he is going to be on TV!

Good men don't fight with women, and they don't care about you.

Bai Xiaoting saw that Li Liang didn't reply, and blamed her for not being used to it, and said, "Hey, let's play today, come on." ”

Li Liangdao: "Are you coming to watch the game today?" I just asked for three tickets. ”

Bai Xiaoting shook her head: "No, I have classes in the evening." ”

At around 10 a.m., Li Liang went to the Toyota Center to participate in the morning team shooting practice.

Before the official competition, the intensity of the training will be relatively small, just a simple warm-up.

Mike Brown announced the team's squad and starting lineup in practice.

Li Liang entered the squad, and of course he didn't have his share in the starter.

But it doesn't matter, didn't Kobe Bryant also start from the bench?

And Li Liang wants to see if Brown still wants to be iron-clad and continue to use his crappy Princeton tactics.

At noon, Li Liang went to a restaurant near his home and had lunch with Wei Dazhi and Zhu Shu.

It's a Mexican restaurant with Mexican owners and staff.

They were most interested in football and had little interest in basketball.

But at dinner today, the boss added a chicken leg to Li Liang.

The boss knows that Li Liang is a player of the Los Angeles Lakers, after all, he is so tall and can eat so much, it is difficult not to attract attention.

"My son is a Lakers fan, and he expects a lot from the Lakers, come on."

Li Liang nodded and accepted the kindness from the boss.

Regardless, the Lakers are the darlings of the city of Los Angeles.

In the afternoon, Li Liang took a nap, and he was overly excited, so he pulled Zhu Shu to play a few games.

The result was, of course, a fiasco without exception, and Li Liang was now completely unable to defeat Zhu Shu.

But he didn't mind, he didn't have a game on his mind now, only basketball.

Wei Dazhi continued his documentary shooting, and he wanted to record Li Liang's participation in the first game of the NBA.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, after dinner, Li Liang was about to set off.

He had to go to the arena to meet the team first.

Before parting, Zhu Shu ran back to the room, took a set of clothes out, and said, "Li Liang, you can wear this set of clothes to leave a good impression on the reporter." ”

Li Liang saw that it was a brand new coat, which was very designed, and it could be seen from the cutting to the decoration that it was very attentive.

"You bought it for me?"

"No, Xiaoting did it for you, she said it was her class design homework."

Li Liang changed his clothes and found that he was indeed very handsome, much more fashionable than the tunic he wore in the previous draft.

Li Liang wondered, why didn't Bai Xiaoting give me the clothes in the morning?

Also, how did she know what size I was wearing, she didn't measure me.

But without thinking much about it, Li Liang changed his clothes, packed his equipment and prepared to go.

Before leaving, he felt that the shoes he was wearing did not match the clothes on his body.

Li Liang usually wears basketball shoes, and there are few casual shoes.

He remembered the pair of shoes he had won in the raffle after completing his mission in Las Vegas.

So, he turned out the shoes that only had good functions and put them on, and it felt like they were good.

It matches the clothes on the body, but the soles of these shoes are a little soft, and it feels like stepping on a bubble of.

"Damn, sure enough, the function is only good-looking, such a soft bottom, how to play basketball."

Zhu Shu arranged a taxi for Li Liang, and before going out, Zhu Shu said: "I have to refuel tonight, I'll go to the stadium later." ”

Li Liang nodded, gave Zhu Shu a hug, and took the car to the Stamp Center.

As the night gripped Stamps, the regular season and the preseason were completely different.

The center was already full of fan cars from all over Los Angeles, and the official launch of the Galaxy Battleship attracted many Lakers fans.

Ticket prices on the front row of benches have been fired up to tens of thousands of dollars, but for Hollywood stars, that amount is nothing.

At the Stamp Center, sitting in the front row means you'll get at least one chance to be on a nationally broadcast camera.

Li Liang walked into the players' tunnel wearing the clothes designed for him by Bai Xiaoting, to be honest, it was the first time he wore such a trendy outfit.

As a rich second generation, his dressing taste is really not qualified, and the key is that he doesn't think it himself.

In the past, he would spend thousands of yuan to buy a white T-shirt, and he thought it was good, and he would buy more than a dozen pieces in a row to change it in.

As a result, his classmates thought that he was poor and only had one piece of clothing to wear.

In the players' tunnel, Wei Dazhi, who was waiting early, slapped wildly at Li Liang.

Looking at Li Liang's latest coat, Wei Dazhi gave a thumbs up and said, "Your clothing level has surpassed Duncan!" Let's do it at night! ”

Li Liang didn't know whether Wei Dazhi was praising himself or scolding himself.

When I came to the dressing room, the staff, the coaching staff, the other players were all there, and everyone was busy.

The coaching staff is working on the tactical plan for the day, and the trainers are responsible for relaxing the muscles of the veterans, changing the clothes of the players, and putting on the shoes.

All entered the first level of combat readiness.

From time to time, reporters shuttle around the dressing room, looking for opportunities to interview the players.

Kobe, Nash, Howard, or Coach Brown can do it, even Blake.

But no one is looking for Li Liang, who is now unpopular with the Los Angeles media.

Li Liangcai didn't mind, he changed into the No. 28 jersey, put on sportswear, put on sneakers, and was ready to fight!

……

At 7 p.m. Pacific time, the 2012-2013 NBA regular season officially kicked off.

The Staples Center was full today, the venue was full, and there were always vacant spots like in the preseason, like a bald spot on the head.

More than half of the fans wore the Lakers' purple and gold jerseys with various numbers.

The most are of course Kobe's No. 24 and No. 8, as well as Howard's No. 12 and Nash's No. 10.

Among them, there are also many who wear Li Liang's No. 28 jersey, because there are also a lot of Chinese Americans in Los Angeles.

After the warm-up, the players returned to the sidelines to prepare for the opening ceremony.

In Los Angeles, which is full of stars, you can change stars to sing the opening national anthem every game without repeating it.

But tonight, it was an ordinary little girl who sang the national anthem.

The girl's pure and simple voice seems to enlighten that no matter how luxurious and bright the Lakers are on paper, the game still needs to be solid and dull to play.

At the end of the song, the applause was thunderous.

The lights went out and there was an exciting appearance ceremony.

Li Liang is not a starter, so he can only stand on the floor to form a background board and high-five the players who started the game one by one.

Li conscience silently said to himself that one day he would not be a background board, but would become the protagonist.

The game is about to begin, with the Los Angeles Lakers taking on the Dallas Mavericks in the opener.

A lot of pre-match commentary predicted that it would be a game with little suspense.

Because the Dallas Mavericks' core Novis gene missed this game with an injury.

Moreover, the Mavericks have been declining since winning the championship in 11 years, and were eliminated in the first round last season.

The team's age is on par with the Lakers.

An aging team with declining form and no core, why shouldn't the Lakers win?

Take a look at their starting lineups: Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, Tzu Shiping, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash.

If you want to say it's a Western Conference All-Star starting lineup, it's okay.

And what about the Lone Ranger: Elton Brand, a former captain in Los Angeles; Sean Marion, Nash's right-hand man in the Suns, but is 34 years old this year; OJ Mayo, a flower show that was highly anticipated but ultimately disappointed; And Brandon Wright and Darryl Collins, who knows who they are except for veteran fans and Mavericks fans.

No matter how you look at it, there is not much suspense in this game.

But this is what others think, and the Lakers' players and coaches don't think it's nine out of ten.

Mike Brown, in particular, knows that the team is not in a good shape right now.

Before the game began, Brown looked at Li Liang who was sitting next to him on the bench, and wondered if he should send this kid on the court.

Brown has his little ninety-nine in mind, and the reason why he insists on using Princeton tactics is simple, because that's what Bass Jr. approves of.

Back in the summer of July, the Lakers had been touting replacing the triangle offense with the Princeton system.

Brown can let Li Liang play in the preseason, and although he has been rude to Buss Jr., it is a private face issue.

Replacing the triangle offense with Princeton is a matter of course for the Lakers.

Jenny Buss, the sister of Phil Jackson and Buss Jr., has always had her eyes on the position of head coach and president of the Lakers.

So knowing that Princeton didn't work well, Brown still had to persevere.

It's the line flag within the Lakers, it's their political correctness.

"Damn, I'm a basketball coach, why should I think about such a problem?" Brown shook his head and cursed secretly, such things made his heart tired.

I just wanted to teach you how to play basketball!

At this point, the game has already begun.

Li Liang sat on the sidelines, watching the two sides jump balls, and there was a trace of excitement in his heart.

Finally, my NBA career has officially started!

Gan Liliang, you have to come on!
